Charron

Overview

A successful carriage builder, Edward Channon developed agencies for other makes as well as offering complete vehicles under his own name. The only model advertised was a 10hp 2-cylinder, similar to the contemporary model Darrac, with smart 4-seater open bodywork as standard. The feature of the design claimed to be 'of English manufacture throughout'. The feature of the design given greatest prominence was automatic ignition advance and retard. The price quoted in 1905 was 225 guineas (£236.25) complete with tools.

Channon retained an enduring curiosity for innovation and flew his own aircraft in 1908.
